Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Stopmotion Animation Studio at 3.9 against FB's 3.1. Stopmotion Animation Studio also leads on update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (388 vs 28). FB's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and review sentiment (56% vs 39%). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Stopmotion Animation Studio holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stopmotion Animation Studio has 388 ratings behind it against 28, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of FB's written reviews are positive against 39% of Stopmotion Animation Studio's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

FB ships an update every 3 months, Stopmotion Animation Studio every 4 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
